Hi Carrie, Thank you for welcoming us to HOD. I am so, so thrilled to be using this curriculum. I have unloaded my boxes, organized our school shelves and have begun ready the manuals in preparation for school next month. What a blessing this material will be to our family- it truly is exactly what ...

VAmomto4- Thanks for the encouragement! Sounds like we will be in the same situation this year....looking forward to learning alongside you. As for DITHOR, I did decide to purchase it along with the level 2/3 wb and level 3 books. My daughter enjoys reading and that is something I look forward to do...

Finally, after months of consideration and learning how HOD works, our order is in for our 9,7,5 and 4 year old children. This curriculum is an answer to prayer and I am praying that we have a fulfilling and joyful year of homeschooling for us all. Thanks to all of you who have helped me work throug...

Patty,

Thanks for your recommendations. Even with cutting down her work problems with CLE math, it is still a lot for her! So I have decided to give Signapore a try for this year. I am hoping for a better math experience!

Bonnie

Thank you for the information- I will have her do the test and see where she falls! This may be the answer to prayer we have been waiting for!

Well, I can't seem to decide which math program to use with Bigger for my 9, soon to be 10, year old daughter who is going into 4th grade. We have been using CLE for 3rd, which I love, but she seems to be struggling with, mainly her math facts- addition, subtractions and multiplication, yikes! She i...

Thank you for the helpful feedback! I will continue on with CLE Math and cut down the work where it seems to be too much. That settles my dilema; I am ready to put in my order for the upcoming school year! I can't wait.

Bonnie

I am getting ready to put our first order in with HOD but still have doubt over which math program to use with Bigger. My 9 year old daughter (3rd) and 7 year old son (2nd) have been using CLE math this year and have done well learning and progressing along. It is a very easy to use, solid program b...

Thank you Brandi, I appreciate your input- I truly think my youngest will love getting the time alone to do his "preschool" work, as will my kinder-age daughter. I feel bad for the younger ones, as they tend to get overlooked as I work with the older kids. Hopefully that won't be the case this year ...

Lisa- thanks for your feed back and input! Sounds like we are in a similar age range! I hope that your year goes well with HOD, I will be interested to hear how you schedule your days and progress through three manuals!

Thank you, that is very helpful! So grateful for all the helpful feed back. I think I will keep my 4th grader in Bigger along with my 2nd grader, as she needs more help developing into an independent worker. I can use the extension packs to supplement for additional reading if need be. As for my pre...

We are new to HOD; last year was our first year of HS, using Adventures with MFW. We loved the program but felt it was lacking in certain areas and I love the extra activities and interaction with HOD. I have a daughter going to 4th grade (she will be 10 in Nov), a son who is going into 2nd (he will...
